QB Russell Wilson is signing a one-year deal with the New York Giants, AP source says
The 36-year-old Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, will join his fourth team in five years. His signing comes after New York signed Jameis Winston to a two-year contract last week.
Russell Wilson has agreed on a one-year contract with the New York Giants, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the signing hasn’t been finalized, said Wilson’s deal is worth up to $21 million with $10.5 million guaranteed.
The Giants signed veteran Jameis Winston to a two-year contract last week and have the third pick in next month’s NFL draft.
The 36-year-old Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowl selection, joins his fourth team in five years. He helped lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to the playoffs last year but the team lost five in a row to end the season after starting 6-1 with Wilson.
Wilson threw for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdown passes, five interceptions, and a 96.5 passer rating for the Steelers.
He had 3,070 yards passing, 26 touchdowns, eight picks and a 98 passer rating for the Broncos in 2023 but was dumped after two disappointing seasons.
Wilson averaged 3,706 yards, 29 touchdowns and had a 101.8 passer rating in 10 seasons with Seattle, leading the Seahawks to one Super Bowl title and within one yard of another.
Wilson is 121-77-1 in 199 career starts in the regular season and 9-8 in the playoffs. He has 46,135 yards passing, 350 touchdowns, 111 interceptions, and a 99.8 career passer rating. Wilson also has rushed for 5,462 yards and 31 touchdowns.
